Seventh Grade Patriots Earn First Win, Defeat Tiger Cubs

Led by Kyle Shaffer (pictured above), the Owen Valley Middle School seventh grade Patriots notched their first win of the season last week, defeating the Tiger Cubs, 24-6, on their home field.

Shaffer was “Mr. Everything” as he rushed for 228 of the team total 267 yards, scoring two touchdowns. He also completed two passes on the night, the second one to Dusty Hendrickson for the team’s third touchdown of the game.

Shaffer also led the defense from his defensive end position, racking up nine tackles. Other leading tacklers were Chandler Roadruck with five and Eli Johnson three.

Johnson and Roadruck, along with Logan Trimble, helped shut down the Greencastle passing attack by picking off passes as well.
